GENERAL MARSHAL/STAKE BOAT GUIDELINES

• One person should remain at the helm and another communicate with spectators
• Encourage intruders to move out from the Race Course by giving them specific instructions –such as "please move to the west"
• Make sure your radio remains on the appropriate channel –low power should suffice
• We are not authority figures, but positive ambassadors for the sport
• In the event of an emergency involving a spectator boat, call the Coast Guard on Ch 16
• Race Event Management will control competitor emergency situations
